That's a very interesting looking doo-dad.Mine is the supreme. Waiting on the 'Consistent Crimp' handle to come back in stock at Titan Reloading.
There is nothing new about the coax....the design has been around forever. One of the main reasons I upgraded to it was how little it has changed since its days as the bonanza.All of you OLD press users what is wrong with you? COME ON MAN....YOU KNOW THE THING. There are all kinds of new wiz bang super awesome better than the last stuff we MUST HAVE and is so much better than the OLD worthless junk. Get with the modern times and sell your OLD no good junk, and order some custom measured super awesome sit around and talk about it stuff. I heard they are coming out with a new Rock Chucker its called the CHUCK A ROCK 6.5, and the back up is 28 ROCKS 2 CHUCK. Thanks for letting my day start off with a good note you old junk users.
What ever your using to get .001 to .003 runout keep using it. I doubt I'd chase that much more. Take those .001 and .003 and shoot them with your highest run out loads I don't think you will find that much difference.First of all I'm a new to this forum but been learning a lot from you guys so thanks. I'll get to the point, seen coax available at Scheels last week so I ordered it while I could, in the mean time while waiting I picked up an old rcbs junior press on cl for 50 bucks, been using lee challenger press which is pretty sloppy, I set up Jr press, used Redding body die and then lee collet die and seated with Forster die on challenger press, to my amazement I had less than .001 runout using Sinclair tool to measure. So I tried it again and again and wow making some straight bullets, 10 in a row, maybe 2 with 0015 runout, coax comes in, set it up, used same sequence and runout is all over the place, some good but most over .003, tried new Lapua brass and still not so good, challenger press would make .001 runout with new brass. So went back to old set up, readjust everything and good ammo again, I'm looking at this coax and seeing all the moving parts, shell holder ain't between the Rams and wondering how something like this can line up better than a ram going through one hole, which seems much simpler, any ideas, I'm thinking of sending it back and getting a rebel or a mec.
I have an Amp Press,Zero Press,Dillon 550c ,K&M Prcision with Wilson / Sinclair Micro Adjust Seater and and Hornady single stagecoach n load.And about every bushing g and mandrel I could find And there is very very little difference in any of the accuracy. It all has come down to neck tension in my experienceSinclair makes excellent stainless lock rings that work well with the coax also.
I've been using my coax for about 10 yrs now and it sits next to a Redding BB2. Ive compared the ammo produced by both using same dies and components and don't see a difference. One thing that might be interesting to try is to use centers similar to a lathe to see how rams and die holes line up. Granted, there is some play in shell holders and plates that allow movement.
I used a Rockchucker for 30 years which I passed on to my son when he wanted to start handloading and its as tight as the day I bought it. It still loads very accurate ammo.
Another for the Rock Chucker. Mine is the supreme. Waiting on the 'Consistent Crimp' handle to come back in stock at Titan Reloading.
